~ History of the Newsboys Strike of 1899, through actual newspaper articles from the time.

New Newspaper Articles!

The website is now updated with several new articles regarding the newsboys’ strike, these from the New York Evening Telegram. As with any of the newspapers covering the strike, the Evening Telegram has a different perspective of the events that occurred. Especially if they could use the strike as an opportunity to toot their own horn. (One particular letter to the editor, in my opinion, seems to have been written by someone other than the purported author…) While the articles do not add anything new to the strike timeline, they do round out the events we’re all familiar with.
